Samuel Enacott of Newport, applied to me to make out his papers, and on certifying them, I discovered that I had inadvertently omitted to state his occupation. - Lest it should be sent back for that reason, I have made inquiry & learn that, he has lately been deprived of all his property, which consisted of mills, - & that now he pursues no particular occupation. He told me - I recollect, that he could do nothing but work a little in the garden, so irregular & - His papers went 4 or 5 days since. -
